[QUOTE="IlliniFaninHoosierLand, post: 2018889, member: 85743"] Just some additional details to add to what Dan posted: -In most years, the top 4 conference champions will likely be the ACC, Big 10, Big XII, and SEC Champions though there will be a season where a Group of 5 (though that name won't be used by the CFP going forward) team finishes ahead of a Power 5 school. For example, in 2021, Cincinnati would have gotten a first round bye over Pitt as Cincinnati was ahead of them in the final rankings. -Notre Dame will only ever be able to make the CFP as an at-large and can be no higher than a 5 seed in the playoff. -Something else that will be a result of this model will be that the team that finishes #12 in the final CFP rankings will not make the playoff. For example, this past season that meant that Oklahoma would have not made the playoff and Liberty would have been in. The season before that, Washington would have not made the playoff and Tulane would have been in. [/QUOTE]
